Nangang LNG Receiving Terminal, Tianjin China
Adoption of film tank technology to improve gas storage density and safety.
The Beijing Gas Tianjin Nangang LNG Project, located in Nangang Industrial Zone, Binhai New Area, Tianjin, represents a landmark development in China's LNG infrastructure as the nation's first large-scale terminal featuring advanced membrane storage technology.
The receiving terminal features ten storage tanks—two 200,000-cubic-meter 9% Ni steel full-containment tanks and eight 220,000-cubic-meter membrane tanks—alongside regasification and loading facilities. The jetty handles LNG carriers from 10,000 to 266,000 cubic meters, with an annual throughput capacity of 5 million tons. The export pipeline, designed for 4.5 billion cubic meters per year at 10 MPa pressure, includes five sub-transmission stations and ten valve chambers. Approved by the NDRC in January 2020, the project was executed in three phases, achieving trial operations in September 2023, June 2024, and November 2024 respectively.
HalcrowSea provided comprehensive design review and optimization services for all LNG terminal engineering works—including jetty/port facilities, tank farm and associated process systems, and water intake/discharge infrastructure—spanning preliminary and detailed design phases. During EPC execution, HalcrowSea served as on-site technical advisory specialists, with particular expertise in LNG tank inner tank and foundation structures, while delivering essential technical consultancy to the client.
As a cornerstone of China's national natural gas production-supply-storage-marketing framework, the terminal enhances regional energy security and supports the transition to cleaner energy in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
